Dragonfli is seeking a tenured Enterprise / Solution Architect to support an ERP-enabled transformation program for a large commercial enterprise in the management consulting industry.

You'll work directly with business leaders, ERP specialists, program teams, and technical teams to make sure the ERP platform lands cleanly inside the broader technology landscape — not just the ERP configuration itself, but everything around it: legacy systems, integrations, data flows, and infrastructure.
